Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that cannot be produced by the body and must come from the diet. Unlike omega-6 fats, which are plentiful in processed foods, omega-3 fats are available only in certain foods. Without consuming the correct ratio of omega-3, -6 and -9 fats in your diet, your body can become out of balance, which can contribute to a host of chronic health conditions.

The two richest sources of omega-3 fats are flaxseed and fish. Flax is a vegetable source of omega-3 fat that contains approximately 55% ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Your body converts a portion of this omega-3 fat into two other health promoting fats, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) at a rate of 2-15% and 2-5% respectively.

Cold water oily fish such as salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines and anchovies are naturally high in EPA and DHA. While consuming fish may expose you to heavy metals and fat-soluble pollutants such as PCBs and dioxins accumulated in fish flesh, taking supplements is often a better alternative as manufacturers remove heavy metals and other contaminants through various means such as molecular distillation. The highest grade fish oils are ones that are molecularly distilled and have no measurable level of contaminants.

Consume at least 5-10 grams of fat daily from omega-3 sources with at least 1-2 grams of EPA and DHA in liquid fish oil or 3-5 fish oil capsules. One tablespoon a day of flax oil is all you need. By combining flax oil and fish oil supplements together, you'll be sure to meet your daily omega-3 needs.*

This top-selling concentrated fish oil provides 600 mg of heart healthy omega-3s (EPA and DHA) in a 1,100 mg softgel. That's twice as much as a regular fish oil softgel, so you'll swallow fewer pills. These essential omega-3 fats support cardiovascular, immune and nervous system health. They also play a role in skin, joint and brain health.* Made from cold water fish that have been molecularly distilled to guarantee purity. Quality control measures exceed strict U.S. standards for potential contaminants.
